Downtown's Central Library, Canoga Park, West Valley, Los Feliz, Will and Ariel Durant, and Junipero Serra branches will provide free menstrual products starting in April.
The Los Angeles City Council has approved a pilot program that will provide free menstrual products at six public libraries.
The pilot program is expected to run from April to September at downtown's Central Library and the Canoga Park, West Valley, Los Feliz, Will and Ariel Durant, and Junipero Serra branches. “Equity isn't treating everybody exactly the same. It's recognizing that some groups of people — in this case, women and some transgender men — have different needs that must be met in able for them to fully participate in the services that the city offers,” said Councilmember Bob Blumenfield, who first proposed the program in 2019.
Menstrual Equity is a movement that seeks to make feminine hygiene products accessible to all women, regardless of their socio-economic status.
